Application mea November 4, 1922. serial No. 599,169.

This invention relates to upholstery for seats, the general object of the invention be ing to provide means for assembling and disassembling the parts so that new parts can be substituted whenever necessary or the old parts taken off and cleaned or repaired andA replaced.

This 4invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement' of the several partspto be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the vaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding part-s. throughout the several views, and in which:-

Figure 1 is a view of a seat constructed in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view throughFigure 1,

Figure 3 is a fragmentary plan view of the upper part of the spring frame,

Figure Llis a similar view of the lower part of the spring frame.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary perspective View with parts in section, and showing an extension at the front side.

Figure 6 is a similar view showing a fringed extension. y

Figure 7 is a sectional view showing the invention in use,

Figure 8 is a detail springs.

Figures 9 and 10 are detail views of a slide and its guideway.

As shown in these views the bottom sup-'- port A for the springs 1 is composedxof a number of longitudinally and transversely arranged channel strips 2, the strips being view of one of the preferably connected together by the tongues 3 which are cut from port-ions 3 formed from the side walls of the 4transversely arranged strips 2 and bent upon the longitudinally arranged strips 2 as clearly shown in Figure 4 of the drawings', These'mentioned portions 3 vof the transverse strips are bent at right angles to the main portions 'thereof to allow the respective strips to be larranged. flushwith `each' other and crossed and secured'in the manner as setforth. vAdjacent the intersections of the strips notches- 4 are formedfor receiving the lower ends'o-f the springs. A hook 5 is placedgatfthe the appendedv center of the junctioni of the strips and gutters 7 areA connected with the ends of the strips, preferably by havi-ng the said `ends curving upwardly to grip the gutters, as shown at 8, The top member B is composed of the side plates 9 which, are connected together 'and which are provided with tongues- 13 which are bent downwardly over the upper ends of the outer springs. A wire 14 or the like passes through each spring and has one end connected with a hook 5 and itsotherend with a cross piece4 y 15 which is connected with the top of the spring. The plates 9 are formed with the cross pieces 15 for receiving the wires 1A of the outer springs. This arrangement of parts limits the expansive movements of the springs. A cushion- C is placed on the member B andI a second cushion D is placed on the rst cushion, the cloth forming the covers of this second cushion extending down A into the Gutters whereit is held by rods 16 tl formed in the cloth,

passing irough loops thus holding the cloth in /the gutters. TvVhen the cushions are to be removedit is simply necessary to pull out the rod 16 in order to free the side parts 17 of the covers which will permit the covers and cushions to be removed.

i Figure 5 shows an extension 18 formed on the front edge of the gutter which acts to hide the gutter and the parts associated therewith. In Figure 6 theA extension 18" isa part of the side pieces of the covers and this extension may be provided with a fringe as shown at 19.

Figure 7 cushions of which are constructs-.din accordance with my invention. The cushion parts are detachably secured to the seat and back parts by means of the slides 2 0 which are attached to the cushion parts and the guideways 21 which are attached to the sup-V porting partsv and which the slides 2U4 engage. The slides are locked in the guideways by means of the-spring latches 22. The hack cushionhas the upper ends of its channel members bent Aover -to engage the upper edge of the back of the seat, as shown at 23, and the top gutter is. provided with and has its outer edge bent downwardly into shows a seat, the seat and backv -an extension 24; which overlaps the-part 23 extend downwardly so as to hide the gutter parts and the junction at the front edge of the seat support.

Fromthe foregoing it Will be seen that the parts o' the seat can easily betaken apart for cleaning or repairing.

lt is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention 4will be readily apparent.

l desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall Within the scope of the appended claim.

What l claim is ln a seat, 'a frame including pairs of channel shaped members arranged in crossed relation and formed with notches in the upper portions of their side Walls adjacent their points of Crossing, tongues formed on some of said notched portions and clamped in a manner to provide a means for securing said pairs of channel shaped members in operative association, a seat element arranged above the lframe, springs interposed between the seat element and frame respectively, said springs having their base convolutions received in said notches, a cross pin secured to the upper convolution of each spring, a hook secured centrally at the juncture of the cross members, and rods depending from the cross pins and passing through the springs and anchored to the hooks.
